wanderlust

lately, i have become increasingly anxious to travel. i grew up in brampton, surrounded by boring grey buildings and pollution, and over the years, my tolerance for it has dwindled. i've been feeling this incredible pull towards nature.

i want to swim in crystal blue waters.
i want to lay on the lush, forest floor and gaze up at thousand-year-old trees.
i want to stand under a beautiful waterfall.
i want to connect with the earth.

i can't wait to be finished my program, and save up money to travel! there are so many places to see, and life is too short to spend it in a drab city.

one

like a child
in oversized snow pants and oversized boots
belly up, i give my face to the sky
twinkling fragments of heaven spill from the stars
kissing my skin
awakening every tiny receptor to the cold
tingling and exploding under my flesh
reminding me of every breath
and i am whole


alive
